Potatoes aren't just about butter & cream. Baking potatoes, because of their drier flesh, seem to take more kindly to mashing than waxy potatoes. Don't try to mash potatoes with a food processor - they just get gluey.

Ingredients
  • * 2 1/2 pounds baking potatoes
  • * salt to taste
  • * 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • * 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil or more to taste
  • * freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions
  1. PEEL the potatoes if you wish. Or peel half and leave the other half with the skins on.
  2. CUT the potatoes in half and plunge them into a large pot of rapidly boiling water. Add the whole garlic cloves and cook, covered, until the potatoes are very tender - about 25 minutes
  3. DRAIN the potatoes and garlic well and turn them into a warm serving bowl.
  4. USING a potato masher, mash them coarsely, adding the olive oil a little at a time.
  5. WHEN all the oil has been added, taste and add more salt if needed and an abundance of black pepper.
  6. SERVE immediately.
